Yes, President Trump made that claim earlier today, Thursday, April 16, 2026. Speaking to reporters at the White House before departing for Las Vegas, he stated that Iran has "totally agreed" to never get a nuclear weapon and has pledged to stay away from them for "beyond 20 years.
"Here are the key details of his announcement:
The "Nuclear Dust" Claim: Trump asserted that Iran has agreed to hand over its entire store of enriched uranium—which he referred to as "nuclear dust"—currently buried underground following U.S. airstrikes last year.
Negotiation Status: He described the two sides as "close" to a final peace deal to end the conflict that began in February. He even hinted at a potential visit to Islamabad, Pakistan, to sign the formal agreement.
Verification: While Trump claimed Iran has agreed to "almost everything," there has been no official confirmation from the Iranian government yet. Iranian officials have expressed "cautious optimism" but have not publicly verified the specific concession regarding the enriched uranium.
This announcement comes as a two-week ceasefire is set to expire this coming Tuesday. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth bolstered the administration's position today by warning that if a deal isn't reached, the U.S. is prepared to resume airstrikes and maintain a naval blockade.
If Trump is correct this could be a very good thing.
